as far as i'm concerned they are not part of the line i refuse to buy thosei am a completist and have the rest of the line moc but wont touch those (i treated the batman the same way)

Completely agree!!With the figure being molded on to the vehicle, it makes them just giant hot wheels.Whats the use if you can not have Batman jumping on and off his Batcycle?Takes so much of the fun out.

What sucks is this line was actually really good at giving us vehicles the figures COULD ACTUALLY USE!!Mattel and their dropping the ball.DrGreenEvil

Ahem the Batcycle! Not the transforming one the Battle Cycle one with the side car. Oh and the trasforming Batmobile that was a killer vehicle!

So.. I know this line is long-dead, but does anyone know if the Flash ever showed up anywhere (other than the one ebay auction)? I just started buying these figures and really want to get the Flash eventually, even at ridiculous ebay prices.

Also, what about the Shazam and Gentleman Ghost figs? Were they only prototypes?

I don't think The Flash ever did show up anywhere other than eBay. I only ever saw one auction for him in-package, but did see quite a few of him loose from overseas sellers (and actually picked one up for myself from one of those sellers - I'm glad I did!).

You do realize this IS the only one we know of. Speed Force is who won that auction.

Annddddddddd He tore that sucker open if I remember right.

Nope.. didn't realize that. I saw 'ausbot' and 'joe g' both mention that they found him, so I assumed there is a small amount out there.Is Joe G and Speed Force the same person? I looked at the Speed Force article (very nice) and also cried a little when I saw that he opened it (haha!). Nice find my friend!I guess I'll hold out hope that one day another will show up online..... (holding my breath, crossing my fingers)

PS.... does anyone have any pics of the other few that were prototypes (Gentleman Ghost, Hunter, Cap Marvel, etc)? I would like to see what they looked like.

Actually, we do. Right here at AFi. There are probably links to the actual pictures earlier in this thread. But the pics themselves are in the Gallery section accessed by clicking on the word "Galleries" above. I'd suggest SDCC 2009 Mattel.

Awesome... thanks! I actually tracked down pics of all the prototypes! Too bad we'll never see them in stores.

I didn't realize that Dr Polaris was also prototyped. And what's up with poor ol' Capt Marvel's chest paint in that display? You would think that when you are showing off your upcoming toyline you wouldn't put a figure on display that looks like your dog chewed on it a bit!?

BTW... since I started collecting this line a couple weeks ago I've already purchased MOST of the figures through Ebay. I really like the design of them (though it would've looked better without the arm/leg holes) and could've used some knee joints!
